This holiday season, BAACAL is excited to collaborate with Princess Ann, the New York–based Afro-Latina model and content creator who has become a street style savant at New York Fashion Week- having been known to represent curvy women with confidence, ease, and runway-ready glamour.
This collaboration is a match made in heaven, as it underscores BAACAL’s continued commitment to providing classic wardrobe heroes that don’t “date”- sustainable wardrobe icons for women sizes 8–28. BAACAL’s founder, Cynthia Vincent, is a world renowned CFDA-lauded fashion designer, who created the brand at a time when she herself couldn’t source quality apparel options in plus sizes.
“Seeing women like Princess Ann move through the world with such a beautiful relationship to fashion and personal style is like seeing my dream in action. It’s why I design, and it’s so affirming to see how women live their lives in BAACAL’s pieces”, Cynthia Vincent shared.
When you meet Princess Ann- one can’t help but admire how she brings her signature bold-yet-streamlined silhouettes to everything she wears. Whether she’s in the streets of Soho in stilettos or pairing a statement dress with her signature handbag, the Chanel classic flap (classic!)

Her style is instantly recognizable: elevated, glamorous, and always intentional. In this edit with BAACAL, she invites us to savor festive style.
For Princess Ann, the transition into winter and holiday party fashion is all about embracing the magic of the season. She leans into all things lace, shimmer, silky fabrics, and elegant details—pieces that feel joyful while still grounded in sophistication.
“The holiday season brings so much joy, and I love leaning into the glitz and shimmer that make everything feel festive,” she shares.

In her personal style, Princess Ann blends glamour with movement, choosing looks that feel chic, classy, and reflective of the warm energy she brings to every room she enters. This mindset inspired her selections for the BAACAL Holiday Edit: pieces that sparkle, glide, and bring effortless elegance to holiday celebrations.
When curating her edit, Princess Ann gravitated toward pieces that are not only beautiful but also incredibly versatile. She selected items that transition seamlessly across seasons and occasions—an essential part of her personal wardrobe philosophy.
“I love switching things up and being able to wear my pieces more than once,” she explains. “When you invest in things you truly love, you can reimagine them in so many ways.”
Princess Ann selected the Cabaret Slip Dress for her edit, citing, “It’s my all time favorite!”
Princess Ann’s longtime admiration for BAACAL is a shared ethos, with a deep dedication to quality, size inclusivity, eco-conscious production and sustainability. As a plus-size woman, she understands how hard it can be to find luxe clothing that fits beautifully and feels good on the body.
“BAACAL creates high-quality designs that are fashionable, functional, and fun to experiment with,” she shares. With an emphasis on small-batch production, premium fabrics, and seasonless design, BAACAL continues to redefine what sustainable luxury looks like for the true size majority.
For curvy women seeking a memorable holiday look, Princess Ann offers: “When styling yourself this season, wear what reflects who you are and how you want to feel.”
Princess Ann has been a longtime fan of BAACAL, often blending archived pieces with new releases for maximum style possibilities. Classic Car Coat + the archived “Tie Me Up” Bias Cut Slip Dress. View the Cabaret Slip Dress for a similar style.
She emphasizes comfort, personal expression, and not comparing oneself to the curated world of social media. “Fashion is a love language and a form of self-expression,” she reminds us. “Explore, have fun, and let your confidence be the accessory that never goes out of style.”
Princess Ann’s Holiday Edit is an invitation to embrace glamour on your own terms—bold, beautiful, and entirely yours. Discover the edit here!
